    Before my husband confirmed my suspicions of being a cheat he told me.....I was 'fat ugly, and an embarassment to be seen with'

    My own mother called me a cow. Never have I been so hurt before. And I will never forget it either.

    A few years ago when the Ravens were playing against the Titans down in Tennessee my family and friends decided to make a road trip out of it and go watch the game. So from Maryland to Tennessee we went for the game. After the game my family and I got separated and it was just me and one of our family friends....As we were walking back to our cars a car full of guys came to a hault behind us and yelled something at me, and when I turned they yelled it again. They called me a "fat *kitten*" and told me to go back to Maryland (I had on my Ravens jersey). It's people like this that make me want to lose weight and if I could I'd thank them for giving me the initiative that I had now to lose weight. I've had many occasions where people have been rude enough with their comments but this one particularly sticks out in my mind. Some day I'm not going to be the fat girl and they'll be sorry.

    As some of the comments above me I've also gotten some mean remarks from family members involving my weight.... one for instance was from my father. It was after dinner and I could not get by his chair because there wasn't enough room, so I did what any human being would do....I asked him if he could scoot in please. He snapped at me "Well maybe if you went on the subway diet or something you'd be able to fit through." It hurt...and I went up into my room and cried. It's hard when people you don't know or are people you're acquainted with call you fat, but it's harder and hurts more when family or friends say it to you.
    One day, that's all I have to say. I'm going to be something bigger in this world, and I don't mean my weight.

    "When are you due?"

    My favorite! Now that my stomach is shrinking, I shouldn't have that question asked ever again!

    I have so many.. my younger brother figures teasing me about my weight is going to make me lose it faster so he always has some kind of rude comment.

    I think the one that hurt me the most happened when I was in grade 7... I was on a class trip to a lake that is only a few minutes from where I grew up and I was swimming and one of the girls said loud enough from the beach "Hey did you guys know whales can survive in fresh water? Because I didn't until just now..." and then she pointed at me and of course everyone laughed.

    I am only 4'10ish at the time I weighed between 145 - 150 pounds so I was by no mean small, but it is one of the most hurtful things that was said to/about me.

    I'm not sure if this is the worst, but it's the one that has stuck with me all of these years. My 'best' friend when I was 10 asked me, "Doesn't it make you sad that you're 10 and weigh 100 pounds?" I was already 5'5". Not overweight back then by any stretch. I always seem to hear her voice though.

    At my heaviest I was asked by a custoemr at the bank if I was pregnant, when I said no he actually fought with me saying I was lying to him and why cant I admit i'm having a baby. I told him In a nice but stern dont f**** with me voice, I am not pregnant. His reply......Oh sorry I guess you really stopped caring and packed a ton of weight on then!! really?????? Any time I have motovational issues I think ofthat comment, about 25lbs down from then!!:smooched:

    When my second son was about 8 months old I went to visit my parents in Virginia. When my Dad picked me up at the airport his first words were, "Man, you've gotten fat"...I was a size 7 back then.

    Two more kids and years later he wouldn't dare say anything to me like that because his belly is huge! He does still pick on my sister though. He went to see her last Easter and told her how fat she was...now she doesn't invite him over any more...great job Dad.

    About a week or two ago, my older sister says on my FB page "I see you trying to get cute" implying that my weight made me unattractive...

    Luckily for me, I know I am attractive because my husband proposed & married me while I was at my highest weight ever, & she had 2 kids before her husband ever took the idea of marriage serious...

    Therefore in the cute department #I'mWINNING LOL

    Let's see... Like all there have been many....
    I get very fustrated when people think I'm fat because I sit around all day and eat junk...and that just isn't the case.... I can admit at times I have given up on myself and given into the tempation because" I'm fat already...what the H#LL"... but a lot of my weight gain has been as a result of medical issues.... and definitly food addiction...I'm not discounting it.... as well as I got fatter my family decided to question everything that went into my mouth...so I began to eat less and less..because that is what I do... (thank god my hubby loves me for who I am)

    So comment wise....
    I have had my father tell me what a disapointment I am to him because I'm fat...
    I have also had him eat a chocolate bar infront of me (which I didn't really notice) until he told me he was going to get me one, but then decided I was too fat so I didn't need one. (he himself is overweight but refuses to see it because he still wears the same size pants he did when he was 20...what he doesn't take into account is he needs suspenders to hold them up)
    My mother is extreamly negative and will quite often just make snide remarks... or mean jest. Also quite often at family gatherings if I decide to indulge in a desert if she knows it is for me she will make quite a show about only giving me a mouthful and make sure everyone in earshot knows why she is doing it.... and that while she is looking out for me...I'm just way too fat.....
    If we are at a resterant I have had her grab the server after my order and change me order to a salad with no dressing.... (this at age 34) its not like I live with her. as a result I tend to not go out with her.
    I had a boss who would contiunally make a point of pointing out how she would have to make a special order for lab coats in order to account for my size! She would regulaly make these comments at department meetings.... When confronted she stated she did it with my best intereset in mind....

    Sorry... I can see i ended up venting but I guess it's been stored in there... Thanks for understanding :)

    My husband (who is wonderful but has terrible foot-in-mouth disease) once told me that he didn't think I was attractive even though he was attracted to me.
    I've heard nastier things, but that was the worst because it came from someone I care about.

    The friends I go out with are a smaller size then me. When we go out, I always over hear something, usually from a guy, saying how they won't dance with the fat girl and then look at me. Then they usually proceed to check out my other friends and roll their eyes at me.

    I never really heard anything while I was fat...except from my daughter lol
    I get insulted more now.
    "You're head looks too big for your body"
    "You're a good looking woman, but if you had bigger boobs you'd look a lot better"
    "Why's your chest look so boney"
    "You're not proportional anymore"

    When I was in my early-mid 20s, I saw a friend that I hadn't seen since high school. She didn't say it to my face, but she told a mutual friend that she wouldn't have even recognized me if she had seen me on the street. That's not so bad; simply a statement of fact. However, she also said that I "looked like a snowman." That one kind of hurt.


    [I inadvertently did this to a friend. I really didn't recognize him.....felt horrible but he dropped the weight immediately where it's taken me years to get serious./quote]

    an old boyfriend hung pictures on the fridge and told me he wanted me to be like the pictures...He would grab my plate and toss it (across the floor)...Then he would beat me to a pulp and make threats to try and get me thin....It didnt work.....I sent him to prison instead for a long long time.......That is why i cannot post pictures......
    Other negative comments from other pple were: You have such beautiful blue eyes, if only you lost some weight...
    you could be a model, If you would lose weight.....Fatty Fatty two by four, couldn't through the kitchen door....You name it its been said....Now i just say that they must be really insecure with themselves if they have to make fun of me......

    Back in college I hung out with this guy from Morocco who used to constantly brag about how lavish and great his life was for many different reasons. Not only that, but he always ALWAYS highlighted just how beautiful and thin my friend Brandi was..never missing a beat. This made me feel incredibly insecure because I was .. well.. fat. Then whenever my friends and I went to the campous's recreational center/gym, he'd make really snarky comments about my weight and how I possibly needed to stay on the treadmills longer, while Brandi didn't. Also, there came a time when while playing table tennis, he hit the ball incredibly hard so that it whizzed right past me. I'd chalked this up to me being God awful at table tennis, and would just fetch the ball. Well apparently this *kitten* mentioned to the two others that I needed the exercise..

    And to add salt to the wounds, he laughed hysterically when I actually ran to chase after the ball because it was 'funny seeing someone fat run'...

    I had a backhanded compliment hehe. An older lady who was a complete stranger said "you dress lovely for a big lady".

    Was having fun but cried all night after that!
